Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by our club. We have just started up this organization, so please excuse our dust while we get everything settled. In January of 2010 a group of like minded cyclists based in and around Concord/Kannapolis, NC gathered to start Central Carolina Cycling Club. We are a cycling club that is open to anyone no matter what your skill level, from BSN (Brand Spankin' New) to more experienced riders.

At the start, our main goal is to create scheduled rides and create routes where we can gather and all ride as a group. We have had great support from Jim and Marcee from the Right Gear (www.rightgear.net), and we are working to create several rides a week starting at their shop. Please see our rides section for more details.

LSD Ride Series - Saturday Mornings

 

The LSD Ride Series (Long Slow Distance) is a Saturday morning ride designed to be laid back and leisurely, with speeds as slow as 10 mph average.  These rides are designed for those who like to go long distances, but aren't necessarily in any hurry to get there.  These rides will start shorter but get  progressively longer as the year goes on and the riders build more fitness.  Eventually, as the rides get longer, they will have destinations such as breakfast in Denton, NC (later in the season).  Our ride leader is Steve Mosier, who is an experience touring cyclist.  If you have any questions, email Steve at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

green-iconJune 15th - 8 AM Start Time:  

This Saturday's LSD ride will leave from the Gold Hill Post Office at 8 am, and we'll ride to Denton for breakfast. It will be a short ride, only 32 miles round trip, but I want to start experimenting with some breakfast rides that don't involve leaving Concord via Sapp Road. We'll have a nice scenic ride without any significant hills.

The Gold Hill PO is on Rt 52. You can get there by going through the village of Gold Hill on St. Stephen's Church Rd, then turn left at the stop sign, and then right to get across the railroad tracks, and the PO will be opposite you across Rt 52. Or you can take Rt 49 to Richfield, then turn left on Rt 52. The PO will be on your right in 5.5 miles, next to the Gold Hill Market gas station. Address is 14125 U.S. 52, and there's plenty of space to park your car.

Hope some of you can join me.

SAMBO Ride

 

SAMBO Ride - Saturday 8:00 AM

The SAMBO (Saturday AM Bike Outing) features A, B, and C rides intended to accommodate most levels of riders. All groups will leave from The Right Gear in Kannapolis at 8am every Saturday. A, B, & C Rides will have a pickup point at the Food Lion on South Union Street. The pack usually comes by between 8:15 and 8:30.

If it is raining at the start, then the ride will be canceled, but if we start and get caught out, the we'll "call an audible" on the road. We have been known to ride when the temperature is in the teens so don't assume that no one will be there!

 

Weather For Ride StartClick Here For Start Location Weather

 

Advanced Ride "A" ride:
 
37 miles. Intended to be a race-pace training ride. Grab a cue sheet and go! If you think you can pull off a 36 mile solo breakaway, then have at it. If you happen to bonk during your quest for bragging rights and the rest of the "A" riders smile as they blow by you, then the B group will be there soon to pick you up.
 
Intermediate Ride "B" ride:
 
37 miles. Same route as the "A" ride, but this one is a no-drop, 15-17 mph pace with a designated ride leader/sweeper.
 
Novice Ride "C" ride:
25 miles.  This ride will run on most of the same roads as the A & B, but will cut off several of the more challenging sections.  For those who want to take it easy and be social, or want to get some riding tips from a more experienced rider, this one's for you. This ride will be a no-drop, 13-15 mph pace ride and is flexible depending on who shows up.
